OK - I have a consultant in my downline that is very inconsistant - she submitted last in November - She has been taken off my IPT?? I thought she would just show up inactive - whats the rule of thumb with that? Last time she went inactive - they left her on my IPT?
 
The IPT refreshes for the beginning of the year. People who were inactive at the end of the year will not show up until they reactivate. Don't worry- she's still on your team.

I hope you guys find your people on your IPT!

where oh where are our recruits?? Maybe new season change?? I have a feeling Ann will know in a few.......
 
Sorry, Doreen. I got no clue. I've had recruits drop off, but only at the beginning of the year if they were inactive Jan. 1. Have you tried clicking the "Show my line" link to see if that brings them back?
 
I have a recruit that just went inactive in January and she is still there...

I tried and it doesn't
 
I'm guessing they drop off after a few months, but they technically should stay there for 1 year. :(Call HO...
 
One of mine's gone, too, but that happened last year as well, and when she reactivated she came back :).

Frequently Asked Questions

What does it mean for a downline consultant to be inactive?

An inactive downline consultant is one who has not met the minimum sales or activity requirements set by Pampered Chef for a specified period. This inactivity can affect their ability to earn commissions and bonuses from their sales and the sales of their downline.

How does inactivity affect my income as an upline consultant?

If your downline consultant becomes inactive, you may lose the ability to earn commissions on their sales. This can impact your overall income, especially if they were a significant contributor to your earnings. Maintaining an active downline is essential for maximizing your income potential.

What are the rules for reinstating an inactive downline consultant?

To reinstate an inactive downline consultant, they typically need to meet specific criteria set by Pampered Chef, such as making a minimum number of sales or participating in training sessions. It's important for them to communicate with their upline and the company to understand the exact requirements for reinstatement.

How can I help my downline consultants stay active?

You can support your downline consultants by providing training, motivation, and resources to help them achieve their sales goals. Regular check-ins, hosting team meetings, and sharing best practices can encourage them to remain active and engaged in their business.

What is the importance of consistency in maintaining an active downline?

Consistency is crucial in direct sales, as it helps build momentum and fosters a supportive team environment. When consultants consistently engage in sales activities, they are more likely to achieve their goals, remain active, and contribute to the overall success of the team, benefiting everyone involved.
